Recovering

The single biggest misconception I had about Lasik was that it was a simple process with minimal impact and down time. The fact that the procedure itself is only about 20 minutes start to finish is deceiving.
Currently, four days later, my eyes look a little bloodshot and irritated. The swelling of my eyes will not fully disappate for as long as a month (at my age, most likely a week). I'm currently nearsighted but functional as a result (read: squinty eyed).
The process is simple, and the worst of the recovery is definitely over when you wake up the next day. Now it is down to a regiment of eye drops and time to heal. The most challenging part... remembering my lubricating eye drops every half an hour. Can't exactly bring an egg timer to work.
